THE WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS.

For mum Der of years the women, who
want all the privilege of men and few OF
their responsibility, have been howing
about the doors OF congress, asking that
the right to vote, to hold office and mix In
political debates and caucuses be granted
them. With each recurring session they
have stormed Washington and made life a
! burden for all the senators and representa-
tives who tender of heart and generous of
disposition, have dared to give to them and
to their cause any encouragement
Senator Blair, curious and harmless old
gentleman from New Hampshire, who
amuses himself by Introducing temper
ance bills, general education bills, and bills
granting pensions indiscrimlnately Is the
especial champion of the "young chits'
who are marshalled each year at the na
tion's capitol by Susan b. Anthony and
Lille Devereux Blake, and as regular as
the year comes round introduces for theil
benefit bill which reads that "the right
of suffrage shall not be abridged on ac
count of SEX" The day that the bill Is uT
for consideration Senator Blair loads him
self up with speech, the "Gutfragists" I'LL
the galleries of the senate to encourage
him with their smiles and then he talks
Until the present week his talk has proven
of small avail; but when the bill "as voted
on on Tuesday, to the delight of the "clam
orers for their rights" and the amazemen
of the senator from New Hampshire, eigh
teen of his brother senators voted in the
affirmative.
An analysis of the vote shows that the
two Illinois senators yielded to their gal
lantry, and voted as the dear ladies de
sired so, too did the senators from Mich

done more to make the rich richer and the
moor poorer. 1t has made more mil
liousires and more reckless, dissatisfied,
dangerous working men, ground to the
very dust et poverty, than ever were known
before In our land" Prove this, and II
ends the controversy; assert II, and it goes
for nothing. So, also, with his assertion
that the extra wages given by protection
TO one fourth of our people, are taken from
the wages and savings of the other three
